This eJournal distributes working and accepted paper abstracts that propose
models, perform analysis, and develop analytical, computational or statistical
methods for stochastic systems where variability plays a central role. The
eJournal welcomes research with a focus on applications in functional areas,
such as financial engineering, manufacturing, service and supply chain operations,
revenue and yield management, telecommunications and networking, where the
contributions transcend its functional context. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to, work that provides substantial structural insights via the
analysis of tractable yet reasonable models of stochastic systems, work that is
intended for literal implementation of policy prescriptions based on computational
methods, and work that is for empirically estimating essential parameters used in
statistical methods for control and optimization.
